Gosh, guys [View all]

I am having a difficult time. I think shock is wearing off and I cant look at a pic of my mom.

I am trying to go through usual motions. I am still working which does help some. But yesterday was tough and today seems same thus far.

Of course motions in COVID era are not usual motions.

I am feeling alone. Although I am not even close to being alone. I have lots of loving support.

The absence of my mothers presence is just heart crushing. I know time will help some.

I guess just typing this out is healthy and healing in its own way.

Thanks for being here and just reading. I hope anyone else dealing with a recent loss is coping as well as can be expected. Hugs and love.
